Ok I have enabled CGI scripting on my apache server, the one where you enable the alias for the cgi-bin folder and such. So it is not directly where you place you web files and such. But it takes it to literal everything in the folder it tried to run with perl. For example the tool FileMan which is free was installed with no problems, but when I run it I noticed that everything that it tried to call other then a script, like an image or something, turns around and comes up with a blank for that spot. When I use my browser and point directly at the file it sits there doing nothing pretty much. When I look in the logs for apache it tells me that it is having issues along this line. Does anyone have a fix for this?

put your images in for instance htdocs or set up a different cgi-bin a way other than using scriptalias.

As per Apache Docs, "The ScriptAlias directive tells Apache that a particular directory is set aside for CGI programs. Apache will assume that every file in this directory is a CGI program, and will attempt to execute it, when that particular resource is requested by a client.

One could just use an "Alias" to the cgi-bin directory and just allow cgi using
Options ExecCGI .. this will allow things that are not cgi files to show as they should.
